Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed Revelations. I’ve been playing this for a while now in the Background. I have much the same regards for this i had for Assassin’s Creed 2 and Brotherhood. It improves on the mechanics of the first one to a nice degree.
I especially like the Animus island, it has this cold and desolate feeling that feels almost cozy too me. I would love to bring my laptop out there along with maybe a blanket and just work on some personal projects or something.
One of the things that i love it introducing is the Bomb Mechanics. It’s cool being able to craft my own. I will admit though that this more often than not leads me to just recrafting the same bomb rather than experimenting. But still, I do like having this here.
Getting to play as Altair again was awesome too. Especially with the better controls and stuff. It makes it way more comfortable to play. It’s a shame though as a lot of what i liked about the 1st game was the unique qualities they have when it comes to stealth, that’s something i wish was carried over or atleast recreated for these flashbacks.
I made it as far as the first key today, and now that Dead Space is off my table, i’m gonna continue too make faster progress (or so i hope).
Interesting that you liked the bomb crafting. I found it a tedious gimmick!
Still, I have fond memories of this game, mainly because it was an escape from a painful breakup.
I have found myself mostly just spamming the same bomb choices, i do like that it gives me creative freedom though.
I get having it as an escape. Back when i first started doing these, I had started playing Uncharted 4 as a distraction from my own painful breakup. It was a welcome distraction to take my mind off things
